problem

causes

Valve does not close on start-up with 
little or no cargo tank pressure

(refer to figure 1)
Main valve piston in lift position, pressurize dome through 
field test handvalve (0.5 to 1.0 kp/cm

2

) to close piston.

Valve opens at a pressure below 
nameplate set pressure

Set pressure incorrect
  auxiliary setter device incorrect one for valve.
  auxiliary setter device not screwed down all the way.
   Pilot sense diaphragm leaks. Check for gas flow 

through pilot spring bonnet vent.

   Backflow preventer check valve leaks. (item 15, figure 2) 

Check for gas flow at discharge tube to main valve outlet. 
No gas flow should be detected.

Valve opens at correct pressure but 
does not close

Pilot not sensing correct tank pressure
   Check valve in tank pressure sense line (figure 1) restricted.
  filter screen in pilot or small orifices in pilot restricted.

iMportAnt

In an emergency, main valve can be closed by pressurizing dome 
(top of piston) through close tee (Item 13, Figure 2) remove plug 
(item 18) and apply pressure equal to tank pressure.
